He Guides My Path – The Writing of Sarah Berthelson

In 1776 we declared our Independence from England

What a wonderful day that was for the USA

Thank you for this Independence Day

God will you bless American even though we leave you out

Of so many things that it is you  it is  about

You must be ashamed of this country you made

We have left you out in so many ways

Thank you for Independence Day

Why don’t we pray and salute our flag

We have allowed others to take this away

God we love you and I pray that we will not lag

Allow the unbelievers to take down our flag

Thank you for Independence Day

You have asked us to humble ourselves and pray

May we do this so our land will be healed from strife

Help us to lay down our guns and our knife

To live for our Lord Jesus in peace and in quite

Thank you for Independence Day

May you keep God in your Fourth of July

God bless you::

Sarah Berthelson

I answered prayer request from people I do not know
They needed a friend and someone that would not show
Their secrets to others were safe with me
I answered them and prayed for the request you see
Thank God for everything

I picked up the phone and called my elderly sister
We talked and shared just above a whisper
I could not see her but heard her sweet voice
We need to check on those we love it is our choice
Thank God for everything

My husband was hungry so we went downstairs
Put food in the microwave and ate right there
Oh how often we forget to thank Him
For all the things we take for granted each day
May you bow your head now and pray
Thank God for everything

We need a prayer meeting across our land

Thinking of our troops fighting in that sand

We call ourselves believers in all that is right

Yet we abort our babies and with each other fight

Does not seem to matter what the fight is about

It is I am right and your are wrong, isn’t that right?

We need a prayer meeting across our land

To come together and love one another as our self

That is what our God would like from us

Let us pray for the politician that they will get right with Him

So much confusion everyday of our life

Our little children cannot understand all this strife

Neighbor against neighbor, State against state

What in the world will be our fate?

We need a prayer meeting across our land

Gather together bow before Him and pray

For guidance and mercy that we need every day

Oh how we need a prayer meeting today

Thank you God for guiding my path
Through the valley where you held my hand
The mountain tops that you tugged on me to climb
My parents that were given to me by your divine order
For my children that you sent to me in your timing
I praise you for my salvation
The mind that you gave me to understand the Old Rugged Cross
For your presence in my life today
Thank you Lord for your patience with a sinner such as I
The love that you have shown through the wrong paths that I chose
The many friends that you sent into my life to love
Thank you for the guidance you will give me tomorrow
For the forgiveness that you have given me today
Continue to guide my path dear Lord
The path that seems so uncertain to me
You know where I am going and you know where I have been
Thank you for listening to my prayers
Some of them are only whining or begging from me
Thank you

Thank you, God ...

For guiding my path through the valley,

Where you held my hand ...

The mountain tops that You

Tugged on me to climb ...

My parents that were given to me

By Your divine order ...

For my children that You sent

To me in Your timing.

I praise You ...

For my salvation.

The mind that you gave me

To understand the Old Rugged Cross.

For Your presence in my life, today.

Thank you, Lord ...

For your patience with a sinner such as I.

The love that You have shown

Through the wrong paths that I chose.

The many friends that You

Sent into my life to love.

Thank you ...

For the guidance You

Will give me tomorrow.

For the forgiveness that You

Have given me, today.

Continue to guide

My path, dear Lord ...

The path that seems

So uncertain to me.

You know where I am going

And where I have been.

Thank you for listening

To my prayers.

I taught my little boys to be thankful

Before we ate, we bowed our heads and often

Said ‘God is great, God is good,

Let us thank Him for our food’

Many a child has said something like that

Some go on and on with their sweet little thanks

They thank him for everyone and everything

We adults are often impatient and ready to eat

It would be better if we would give thanks,

He provides our food and shelter

Days go by and we never remember to thank Him

Why do we wait until troubles come

To get on our knees and beg for Him

To listen to our request and answer them please,

I need you now can’t you see.

Sometimes, my Father says, “No.”
He does it because He loves me so.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for answering my prayers.
Thank you for the many times that you said, “No,”
Because you did my blessings flow.

Lord Jesus just show me what you would have me do

I feel so empty when I have done nothing for you

Give me a vision today to love unconditionally

To pray unselfishly and be of help to someone

Lord Just Show Me

I need to have a mission that is from you Lord

Not just sit and wonder what I need to do

Make it very clear to me where I am to go

Should I sit and read your word or kneel and pray

Lord Jesus Just Show me

Would you have me call the neighbor that is sick

Or should I go visit the one that is lonely and sad

Do you want me to kneel and pray and just be glad

That I am your child and be satisfied, not sad

Lord Jesus Just show me

Forgive me if I have given someone the wrong advice

Let me love the one that hurt me by their unkind words

Give me wisdom to know what to say to the lost souls

Speak clearly Lord that I will know what my mission is

Lord Jesus Just Show me

Let us pray for our brother today
He may be in Singapore, Canada, or the USA
Sometimes the request are difficult we say
We just know it is time to pray

We pray for so many that we would never know
If it were not for Rob’s faith that helps us to grow
